*Julian's Pov*

i walk into the office, seeing Jade and Henry already seated. Jade rolls her eyes and i smile mockingly at her. i sit down and put my feet up on the conference table, yawning.

"alright, let's get this over with." i say. Henry taps the table nervously and continues.

"me and Jade have been worried-"

"more than usual?" i cut him off, raising my eyebrow. Henry shakes his head and Jade continues for him.

"stop trying to act cool Julian. we need to keep you safe." Jade scolds. i tilt my head to the side and smile.

"oh yeah?" she immediately looks away and i back off, confused on the lack of her reaction.

"i think we all know what needs to happen." Henry states. Jade nods and i stare at the ceiling, silently sipping my iced coffee.

"we need to-"

"-move you out of your apartment." Jade says.

"-have you two go to Jade's hometown for the holiday.." Henry says at the same time as Jade. i choke on my coffee, spitting it out on the wall. "although that is a good idea Jade. we'll do both."

"WHAT?!" me and Jade scream. Henry widens his eyes and folds his hands on top of the table.

"okay! fine, we'll just add more security to the house. sorry for being dramatic." Henry chuckles, raising his eyebrows. i rapidly shake my head and scream.

"not that! why do i have to go to it's house for thanksgiving??" i whine.

"I'm sorry rewind, it?" Jade repeats, we ignore her and continue talking about this catastrophe.

"Julian, no offense but you're pretty predictable." Jade snickers and i glare at her, then looking back over at Henry. "you do mostly the same things everyday and if not, you still go to the same places. if you go with Jade home for Thanksgiving, no one would suspect that. considering you aren't doing anything this weekend..." i look at the floor, a pain in my chest. "...i think it could be good for you. and Jade."

"no way in hell Henry." i scold, Jade nods.

"why wouldn't we talk about this first? i mean Thanksgiving is four days away. i would need to tell my family the #1 singer in the world is coming to our small hometown in fucking Oregon." Henry sighs and twirls a pen around his finger, looking more relaxed.

"i figured you two wouldn't be very content with this idea, but the truth is- Julian's life is in danger. do you want him to die Jade?" she coughs and widens her eyes.

"w-why would you say that?" she quietly asks.

"you know, now that I'm thinking about it. i think we should do it."

"it's not really your decision its already happenin-" i shush Henry and he purses his lips.

"you only wanna do it now because i said no!" she complains. i turn my rolly chair towards Jade and grab her hands in mine. she looks at our intertwined fingers and back at me, blush creeping on her pale cheeks.

"pleaseeee Jadey? i really wanna meet this sister of yours." i beg, quivering my lip.

"...okay." she sighs and i look at Henry, a grin on my face. this will be interesting.
